When Print on Both Sides is selected, the document preview image changes to show a spiral binding along either the left edge or the top edge of the page. In addition, a folded-over corner appears in the lower-right portion of the preview image, indicating that printing occurs on the back side. An arrow on the folded-over corner points in the direction that the pages would be flipped if they were bound together.

Short-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by flipping over like the pages of a calendar. Long-side binding is for print jobs with pages that read by turning like the pages of a book.

Booklet Layout

The Booklet Layout drop-down menu, visible when Print on Both Sides is selected, offers choices that are based on the current paper size. The default setting for the Booklet Printing drop-down menu is Off. The other settings have the following format, where [paper size] depends on the paper size that is set on the Paper/Quality tab:

●Left Binding

●Right Binding

When you select Left Binding or Right Binding, the document preview image changes to show the location of the binding. If the Pages per Sheet setting is on the default setting of 1, it automatically changes to 2 pages per sheet. If you change the Pages per Sheet setting manually to 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, the booklet setting is disabled. See Pages per Sheet on page 139 for more information.

Book and Booklet Printing

The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4020-CP4520 Series supports book and booklet printing.

A book is a print job consisting of at least two pages. It can have a different paper type for the front cover, first page, other pages, last page, or back cover. Use the Covers and Print pages on different paper settings on the Paper/Quality tab to select different paper for the front cover, first page, other pages, and back cover. For more information, see Paper/Quality tab features on page 116.

A booklet is a print job that places two pages on each side of a sheet that can then be folded into a booklet that is half the size of the paper. Use the Booklet Layout drop-down menu on the Finishing tab to control booklet settings.
